Default Valve Cover Opinion

Well installed my speed inc billet valve covers yesterday..some good and bad so looking for opinions. I like the looks i think, a gloss black fast will be in the middle soon, so dont mind the dull ls6 intake. The rusty headers will be replaced with QTP's or a turbo kit soon also

The only problem i have with them is the passenger side (can't really see) the breather is wedged between the valve cover and the coils but i drove it for a few hours and doesn't seem to be an issue. And you get a nice oil aroma when stopped at stop lights w/the heat on and windows up..but its going to be like that with any breather setup..

Mainly wondering, do i stick with these or put stockers on w/catch can?

Thumbs up

LOOKS okay----but your headers are rusting also. nice heads...I love edelbrock--have used lots of their stuff over the years... .

I just installed my speedinc covers too but don't have breathers for them yet. Which breathers are those? Are they speedinc's? Also I have 4 long allen head bolts and 4 short ones that don't reach the pedistals that you screw into the heads. Were yours like that?

the breathers are from speed inc yes... in terms of your bolts i had 8 allen head bolts all the same size w/ o-rings... the o-rings bunched up though and come out when you torque them down..i'm going to find a better sized o'ring
